A blogpost discussing the topics covered at this event and written by Kirsteen is now available at the Bright Green Scotland website.

In the brutality of the recession we have an opportunity to redesign our society for the better.

Only then might we stop fuelling economic inequality and invest in a fairer and more sustainable future. This talk by Kirsteen Shields from the School of Law at the University of Dundee, offered a beginners guide to public power and how any individual may influence it.
